2:31[00:00] No way this is actually a real post
[00:04] there. There's no way. There's no way.
[00:05] We got We got to We got to actually do
[00:07] our independent research here. We We got
[00:09] to actually We got to look at this right
[00:11] now and we got to um We got We got to
[00:14] just straight up confirm ourselves. So,
[00:17] this is the CEO of Shift Up, the creator
[00:20] of Stellar Blade and Steller Blade Blood
[00:22] Rain. We We got to see if um that post
[00:26] is actually legitimate. So, uh let's see
[00:28] if I can find it. Oh my goodness, the
[00:30] fan art. Oh my goodness. We'll continue
[00:32] going. Is it this? Okay, so so it's
[00:35] this. Okay, so this is
[00:45] actually legit. Oh my goodness. So the
[00:49] translation of this that was retweeted
[00:51] by the creator of her, by the way. This
[00:53] is the translation.
[00:55] I look like a kid. Then take a good look
[00:58] at this and this. Can you still say that
[01:02] after seeing these? Definitely adult,
[01:06] but yeah, I brought undoubtedly not her
[01:09] looks.
[01:15] Oh my goodness. This this this CEO
[01:23] I cannot believe we have reached this
[01:25] level of base. Like this is gigachad.
[01:27] Like it's just straight up gigachad.
[01:29] Like this is actually insane. The fact
[01:32] that the creator straight up retweeted
[01:35] this and the the translation was even
[01:38] laid out with a translation. So you know
[01:40] the CEO read this where it literally
[01:43] says that word for word is so funny
[01:46] because there's no other way to really
[01:47] look at it. Even if you couldn't read
[01:49] it, the way it's depicted is very
[01:51] obvious. So just like
[01:54] I I it's crazy me and like for the last
[01:56] two weeks there has been so many people
[01:59] that have removed their mask and
[02:01] crashing out about Eve and then you know
[02:04] trying to celebrate Palmy's design
[02:05] saying Palm is very uh you know she
[02:07] she's not a lolly archetype or anything
[02:09] like that and then you just you you see
[02:11] this you see the creator retweet it.
[02:14] This is just next level hilarious to me
[02:17] because
[02:19] the creator just does not care. I mean,
[02:22] this was already obvious, but like when
[02:24] you just you take a scroll and you just
[02:26] you look at all the retweets and
[02:28] everything. This this team at Shift Up,
[02:31] they don't care about the like they
[02:34] don't care about the controversy. They
[02:36] They really don't care, dude. Like, I
[02:39] respect this game company so much. I
[02:42] wish there was more like creators and
[02:46] writers and stuff that had the balls to
[02:48] do what this creator, what this team,
[02:51] what the CEO is doing for Shift Up. And
[02:54] I would like to just say like, man, the
[02:56] fact that they managed to separate
[02:58] themselves from Sony, like Stellar Blade
[02:59] Blood Rain is not going to be controlled
[03:00] by Sony, I think is a really big boon to
[03:03] this entire thing. because for those
[03:05] that need a little bit of a rundown
[03:06] here. I would like to remind everybody
[03:08] um when Storb Blade Blood Rain came out
[03:11] on PlayStation um they were kind of
[03:13] under contract to follow like Sony's
[03:15] rules and stuff and they did censor a
[03:18] few things. They they did and it was
[03:19] definitely because of Sony's
[03:21] involvement. They forced it with a day
[03:22] one patch and everything. And I think
[03:24] when you take a hard look at that
[03:26] they're not going to be like solely on
[03:28] PlayStation and they're going to release
[03:30] it like platform like multiple platforms
[03:31] at the same time. I think it showcases
[03:33] that there's more flexibility and
[03:35] freedom for this company and that they
[03:37] just don't care. They're going to go all
[03:38] in because it's their game. They don't
[03:40] need a censor. And I absolutely
[03:43] appreciate this. We need more stuff like
[03:45] this in the game industry. Honestly, in
[03:47] every single industry, we we need more
[03:50] developers and creators and writers and
[03:53] artists who just have a backbone to not
[03:55] um care about what the haters think. I
[03:58] mean, like I've said this already, but
[04:00] if you take one hard look at Eevee and
[04:03] you see like childlike features, it says
[04:06] way more about you than anything else.
[04:09] That's the truth. And I'm just like I
[04:11] cannot believe that this is a thing.
[04:14] Like I I want to be honest with you. I
[04:15] want this artist. I need a full comic.
[04:18] Like please artist. I don't think the
[04:20] artist would watch this video, but if
[04:22] the artist somehow happens upon this
[04:24] video and hears me, hears my plight,
[04:26] please, please, please, please make a
[04:30] comic. Like, I I did not realize how
[04:33] much I needed an Eevee Stellar Blade
[04:35] like manga comic or just like comic or
[04:37] manga more than I do now. Like, did I I
[04:39] need this like I I 100% need something
[04:42] like this with this like sassy bratty
[04:44] like nature. I please please give me
[04:48] more of this. But um yeah, I just I
[04:50] briefly wanted to talk about this
[04:52] because I thought this was freaking
[04:53] hilarious and I wanted to share it with
[04:55] you guys because like it it's just this
[04:58] is not something you see every day. It's
[05:00] a rarity. It's very rare and I mean I I
[05:03] guess we could figure this would happen
[05:05] especially since like this is you know
[05:07] helped create Blade and Soul and also
[05:09] Goddess of Victory. I I I think that
[05:11] when you compare those games to just
[05:13] like the the Gooner like content within
[05:15] it, I I think it makes sense why Stellar
[05:17] Blade would be like it is. I'm just I'm
[05:19] glad to see that that they don't change.
[05:21] I Oh, man. I am I am so much looking
[05:24] forward to this game. I cannot wait to
[05:26] get my hands on this game. Like, I want
[05:28] to say shift up. If anyone at their
[05:30] company watches this video, I'm not
[05:33] joking. I would love to be sponsored. I
[05:36] I I don't think it'll happen, but I
[05:38] would love to even do a sponsored
[05:40] stream. I would love to stream this
[05:42] game. I would 100% stream this on
[05:45] YouTube and all that. I would if they
[05:47] reached out to me because man, what a
[05:49] freaking game. I I man, I I have so much
[05:52] respect for this company. So, I I will I
[05:54] will leave it at that. I just I wanted
[05:55] to talk about this. I thought it was
[05:57] funny. Um hopefully this will be a nice
[05:59] little highlight to your day. But, uh be
[06:01] safe, stay healthy. Chibi out.
